To get the turbo up from the bottom and onto the head, I need to take off the A/C fan but I can't do that without disconnecting the A/C lines. I loosened one and compressed gas, Im guessing freeon, started coming out. How do I get the pressure out of the lines so I can take off the A/C fan? Thanks in advance.

 

thats bizarre. You should just be able to take out the whole radiator with fans without touching the AC. Just gently push the AC line out of the way and pull the radiator out with fans out.

 

if you do need to remove pressure from your A/C lines you should get a A/C recharge kit fitting (has a clip on head and hose) that goes onto your low pressure line cap (labeled with L right in front of radiator) and it will release the pressure. you'll need to recharge it later on though....

 

What's with you and leaking gases???

 

yeah, theres no way you need to be messing with your a/c lines. they're soft. just undo all the brackets and push them out of teh way.

 

I'm assuming you have a civic and not an integra
you shouldnt need to remove the condenser to install the turbo...just remove the condenser fan and radiator fan and you should be able to slide the turbo in from the top....then you can slide the condenser fan back in from the bottom. The fan is held on by 4 10mm bolts, 2 on top and 2 on the bottom....
